ROY LICHTENSTEIN

MY ARTIST REPORT PROJECT FOR THIS TERM IS NOT ON THE LIST THAT PROFESSOR JOHN PROVIDE US BECAUSE I HAVE FOUND AN GREAT ARTIST WHO IS WORTH LETTING OUR CLASSMATES GET FAMILIAR WITH. WHEN I WENT TO THE ART GALLERY MILWAUKEE, I SEE THE ARTWORK CRYING GIRL, I WAS REALLY THRILLED AND CHECKED ON THE BACKGROUND OF THAT ARTWORK AND THE ARTIST I FEEL LIKE THAT THIS ARTIST IS THE ONE I COULD DO MY REPORT ON. IN MY REPORT, THE SUPERSTAR IS ONE OF THE FOUNDERS IN THE POP ART— ROY LICHTENSTEIN. POP ART IS AN ART MOVEMENT THAT EMERGED IN THE 1950S AND FLOURISHED IN THE 1960S IN AMERICA AND BRITAIN, DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM SOURCES IN POPULAR AND COMMERCIAL CULTURE. DIFFERENT CULTURES AND COUNTRIES CONTRIBUTED TO THE MOVEMENT DURING THE 1960S AND 70S

ROY IS A KEY FIGURE IN THE POP ART MOVEMENT AND BEYOND, ROY LICHTENSTEIN GROUNDED HIS PROFOUNDLY INVENTIVE CAREER IN IMITATION—BEGINNING BY BORROWING IMAGES FROM COMIC BOOKS AND ADVERTISEMENTS IN THE EARLY 1960S, AND EVENTUALLY ENCOMPASSING THOSE OF EVERYDAY OBJECTS, ARTISTIC STYLES, AND ART HISTORY ITSELF. IN HIS ARTWORKS, HE USED PERFORATED TEMPLATES TO REPLICATE AND OFTEN EXAGGERATE THE DOT PATTERNING COMMONLY USED IN PRINTING IMAGERY. KNOWN AS BEN-DAY DOTS, THIS PATTERNING BECAME A SIGNATURE ELEMENT OF HIS STYLE, WHICH INCORPORATED THE LOOK OF MECHANICAL REPRODUCTION INTO THE FINE-ART WORLD OF PAINTING. THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER, LICHTENSTEIN CONFOUNDED SUCH OPPOSITIONS—BETWEEN REALITY AND ARTIFICIALITY, HIGH ART AND MASS CULTURE, ABSTRACTION AND FIGURATION, AND THE MANUAL AND MECHANICAL—TO REVEAL THEIR INTERDEPENDENCE

PROJECT #2

THE ROLE OF AUTHORSHIP IS THAT PEOPLE COULD TELL “HELL YEAH THAT’S BOWEN’S WORK!” BECAUSE THERE IS MY SOUL, MY STYLE, AND EVEN MY EXPERIENCE IN MY WORK. MY WORK EQUALS TO MY NAME IN SOME ASPECTS. OF COURSE, I CONSIDER MY WORK ORIGINAL, BECAUSE I EXERCISE MY AESTHETIC BY READING A HUGE VARIETY OF WORKS, WHICH ARE IN VERY DIFFERENT KINDS OF STYLES. THEN I COME UP WITH MY OWN STUFF. WHEN THE AUDIENCE LOOK AT MY WORK, THEY COULD ONLY TELL OH THAT ARTWORK LOOKED A LITTLE BIT LIKE BLABLABLA’S WORK, BUT ALSO A LITTLE BIT LIKE DLADLADLA’S WORK. BUT FUCK NO, IT IS JUST L I K E, THAT STYLE IS BOWEN’S STYLE MY ORIGINAL SHIT. EVERYONE WHO STARES AT MY WORK FOR MORE THAN 3 MINUTES COULD “TAKE POSSESSION” OF MY WORK AND DERIVE THEIR OWN MEANING FROM IT. I THINK WHEN THE AUDIENCE GET THE BEAUTY OF MY STUFF, AT THAT MOMENT, THEY TAKE POSSESSION OF IT. AND THEY COULD ALSO DERIVE THEIR OWN MEANING FROM IT BECAUSE PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES OF LIFE COULD DEFINI...

FINAL PROJECT REPORT

MY PROJECT THIS TERM IS CONTINUALLY WORKING ON SHARING WITH THE AUDIENCE MY PERSPECTIVE OF APPRECIATING THIS WORLD VIA DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY. THE WHOLE PROJECT IS AN EXTENSION OF THE FLICKER POST I HAVE DONE LAST YEAR. IN THIS PROJECT, I ADDED 230 PHOTOS TO MY PHOTO STREAM. MOST OF THEM WERE TAKEN DURING MY TRAVELING ALL AROUND THE WORLD; WHAT I AM DOING CURRENTLY WAS EDITING AND POSTING. ALSO, OF COURSE, THERE ARE SOME PICS THAT I TOOK DURING THIS TERM. AMONG ALL THE PHOTOS, SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN SORTED OUT INTO THE EXISTING ALBUMS, BUT ALSO SOME ARE ADDED INTO THE NEW ALBUMS, WHICH HAVE BEEN TITLED CREATIVELY. HERE IS THE BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE NEWLY ADDED ALBUMS. THE SHOW! THERE ARE TWO BIG EVENTS THAT HAPPENED IN THIS TERM: THE VOODIS FASHION SHOW AND THE SENIOR SHOW. I SHOWED UP MY WORK IN BOTH TWO FASHION/ART SHOWS AND THERE ARE SOME FANTASTIC MOMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN CAPTURED BY MY LENSES. IN THIS ALBUM, THERE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF ME AND MY MODELS. ...

BORN RICHARD SATURNINO OWENS, HE BEGAN HIS LABEL IN CALIFORNIA IN 1994 AND NOW OVERSEES A VERITABLE FASHION EMPIRE FROM A FIVE-STORY COMPOUND IN PARIS.

RICK'S REPRESENTATIVE ABSTRACT FASHION DESIGN: THE FIRST GENERATION GEOBASKET INITIALLY INTRODUCED IN FALL/WINTER 2006'S "DUSTULATOR" COLLECTION, RICK OWENS DESIGNED THE GEOBASKET BECAUSE HE FELT THAT ATHLETIC SHOES WERE SIMPLY TOO "PROSAIC."
